Marco Iacoboni, a neuroscientist at California's UCLA School
of Medicine, believes that mirror neurons allow humans to merge our
subjective experience with that of another. "Mirror neurons suggest
that we pretend to be in another person's mental shoes," he said. "In
fact, with mirror neurons, we do not have to pretend, we practically
are in another person's mind. " The monkey in the experiment days was,
thought the researcher, "experiencing" what it was like to pick up the
snack.
